Scorpio Rising 2

Ch 2

You cry out in your sleep,
All my failings exposed.
And there’s a taste in my mouth,
As desperation takes hold.
Just that something so good
Just can’t function no more.

Carmen gets dressed. Lacy underwear leaving nothing to my imagination. I lay in bed watching her get dressed. Watching her movements as she makes the simplest morning ritual seem profoundly sexual. I gulp when I see her bend over to pick up a brush. I lick my lips when I see her legs how lean how tanned; how they lead to the softness of her…..she was talking again…

“Hey Shane. Are you gonna get dressed or do you want to sleep in…I can take Marco to school…?”

“No he wants me to come along…we have our moment when I say bye to him….’

“Are you sure you seem really tired….?”

“No…..I was just thinking about how much you turn me on….”

“Do I?”

“Yeah…………I am sorry about earlier…I didn’t mean to freak you out….”

‘………”

“Carm?”

She turns to look at me. She smiles soft a little sad. I bummed her out.

“It’s ok Shane…..really it is…go on get dressed. We can talk later.”

I look at her really look. I see that she is upset. She is trying so hard to keep it together. I really should have been more….more sensitive to her. I get up and walk over to her. I give her a hug. Her bottom lip pouting just like Marco when he doesn’t get what he wants. It’s heredity I think. I can’t deny them anything. She is crying on my shoulder. I just look up at the ceiling trying to figure out how to fix this.

“Baby…tell me…tell what to do and I will do it….”

“Carm….it’s just me being restless. It came out all wrong….I think maybe we should go see the mouse. Marco had been a good boy in school his birthday is coming up…we should go….”

“You are right we should go…it’s just…I just don’t want to trap you…or crush you…..” She says as moves to brush her hair. She was still upset about what I said earlier. She tried so hard to hide it but I knew and her tears aren’t making anything easier. I get distracted and I stare at her hands. Soft lean fingers. Soft….lean….fingers…gotta focus…maybe lighten the mood a little bit.
